With that said, I believe Skip Holtz needs to run a completely different offensive formation this week. What we are doing is NOT working. Why keep running the same offensive sets when it's so easy for the opposing defense to disrupt everything?
For example, instead of running a 4 WR set with 1 RB --which is our primary offensive set-- CHANGE THINGS! Bring in a TE, and/or a second RB --or a slotback-- to help with pass protection and run support up front. It will provide better blocking and also give us more creative options with RB & TE screens, shovel passes, etc.... It should also end much of the double-teaming we see on our WR's, as the DB's move closer to the line of scrimmage. .
Sometimes we run a "straight T" formation, and it is very successful. But we didn't see THAT last night at all.
How about a little coaching?
What is certain, is the fact that LA Tech can't keep doing the same thing and expect to get a different result. It's time to CHANGE what we are doing offensively at LA Tech.
It's time for Tech fans to stop blaming all our shortcomings on the "two missing tackles". Instead, we should act like a big boy team and ADJUST! That's why we pay the coaches.
